I wanted to let you all know that over the next couple weeks, as time permits, you will see certain changes happening.
We are in the process of trimming the board to make it more user friendly.
As such, certain forums are going to be merged, deleted, moved, renamed and such like.
So if one of your favorite forums is missing, check here, and see what we did with it, or with it's contents, or what is it's new name or whatever.
When we are finished, I hope that we'll have a better board for you all to enjoy.

I have been working on combining the Brood Photography and Spawning Pair Showcase threads.

I just moved all content from the Ceramics Room into the Craft Room, and I have deleted the Ceramics Room.. Just giving you an update on what has been going on, aside from the obvious color and background change..

Which reminds me, I created a dummy forum as a test account, so that we can try changes out there and get them right, before applying them here.

Well I finished moving stuff from the Brood Photography to the spawning pairs, and renaming the spaning pairs section.
I have to ocnfess though, right there at the end.. I made a boo boo.
This is the support ticket information I posted.

I was attempting to move topics from one forum to another, and I bobbed when I should have weaved and hit empty forum instead of delete (which would have prompted me to move the topics, which is what I wanted to do).
Is there any way to recover those topics?

This is the reply
It is possible for us to retrieve deleted content (known as a restoration). However restorations are currently on hold until ZetaBoards is fully released (which we don't have a release date for at this time) but will be processed at that time. For now we can mark this ticket for restoration if you'd like.

My reply
Yes, please, I would really like that. I feel like such a goof.
Thank you for your prompt replay.

Now, let me tell you guys right now, most of the stuff that was on the board was old threads that did not have a corresponding spawning pair thread.
There were only 4 pages of threads, and only the first page had anything happening on it.
So if your thread was one I killed, I am sorry, but it will be restored at some point in the future, though who knows when.
Until then, feel free to restart your thread in the newly revamped Spawn Log!

Those of you who have been with us for a while knows that Unique has grown, maybe a little too much.
So, I have sat down and prunes the forums a little, moving things around, consolidating, renaming and such like.
This far this is the sum of what was done.

1) Moved topics of Zen Profiles and Pond & Water features to Kingdom Fishroom and deleted those forums, as they have hardly ever been used.

2) Moved Aquatic Plants into Aquarium Gallery, and deleted that forum.

3) Merged Hybrid Bettas and Oddball Bettas into one forum and renamed it Unconventional Bettas. If anyone has a better name suggestion, feel free to PM it to me.

4) Renamed Crowntaii-Halfmoon-Plakat forum into simply Crowntail Plakat. I felt the HM part was redundant.

5) Combined Great Buy and Auction Watch into one forum and renamed it Hot Items. This is provisional, and really because I am unsure what I want to do with this forum, as most of the time, people post fish auctions in that types forum, however, I wasn't ready to just dump it yet.

So, there you go, and as more things happen, I will certainly update you all. Also, if you have any suggestions you can post them in the Suggestion forum, or you can PM it to me.

Also, as an aside, I have started a new forum in the VIP area. It is LaBella's Betta Blog. This is for VIP members only, and for those of you who are interested in reading my blog, get to posting, at 100 posts, you too become a VIP and can access a whole 'nother section of the forum that was hidden from you.

I decided to get rid of the Betta Homes forum. There were only two posts in it this year. All the topics there were moved to General Betta Talk.
